CROTON'S CHEMICAL ENGINE CO., A LOOK BACK @ YOUR ALL VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT: CIRCA 1948, 1967, 2011, 2013 & 2014

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

For our readers today: A wonderful group photo of Chemical Engine Company, circa 1948, courtesy of Lou Lambruschi. It's also been dissected into up close shots for your enjoyment. And...also for your enjoyment, it's followed by a 1967 Chemical Engine item featured in a previous post at Everything Croton--and courtesy of the outstanding archives maintained by the volunteers of THE CROTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY, as well as some more recent Chemical Engine photos.

Click on the images and enjoy.

  1. They really need to change that logo. It does not reflect the progressive nature of our village.

    1. No.

      This editor feels that they do not.

      It reflects strength, tradition, honor. Enough said.
